William Shakespeare Quote – “Till now you have gone on and fill’d the time with all licentious measure…”
Till now you have gone on and fill’d the time With all licentious measure, making your wills The scope of justice; till now myself and such As slept with our traversed arms, and breathed Our sufferance vainly: now the time is flush, When crouching marrow in the bearer strong Cries of itself, “No more.” William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)
William Shakespeare Quote – “But tell me true, for I must ever doubt…”
But tell me true — For I must ever doubt, though ne’er so sure — Is not thy kindness subtle, covetous, If not a usuring kindness, and, as rich men deal gifts, Expecting in return twenty for one? William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)
William Shakespeare Quote – “What an alteration of honour has desperate want made…”
What an alteration of honour Has desperate want made! What viler thing upon the earth than friends Who can bring noblest minds to basest ends! How rarely does it meet with this time’s guise, When man was wish’d to love his enemies! William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)

O’ the fierce wretchedness that glory brings us! Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt, Since riches point to misery and contempt?

William Shakespeare Quote – “His overthrow heap’d happiness upon him…”
His overthrow heap’d happiness upon him; For then, and not till then, he felt himself, And found the blessedness of being little: And, to add greater honours to his age Than man could give him, he died fearing God. William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)
William Shakespeare Quote – “Ceremony was but devised at first…”
Ceremony was but devised at first To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes, Recanting goodness, sorry ere ’tis shown; But where there is true friendship, there needs none. William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)
